Agreed.

Muslim outreach is idiotic but its just a tiny thing and I doubt any of us know how much money is spent on it to do what.

I’m not so sure the loss of the space station is such a bad thing. Its become a pacifier that prevents us from moving on. Losing it may be what is needed to help force NASA back onto their intended pathfinding and prospecting role.

For that matter, private interests might like to have the space station for their own reasons.

I think we should throw some dimes at keeping it running. It’s a tiny expense overall compared to the 4T budget.

I’m sick and tired of every nasa thing turning into muslim stuff. There’s been one government comment on it and it makes FR look like a laughing stock clown show.

I'm with you. The ISS has been manned for 16+ years. Strikes me that there isn't any more blood to squeeze out of this turnip. Just a big ol' UN goodwill tour now. I'm tired of paying cab fare to the Russians.
